Abstract :
The main objective of this research is to investigate techniques for classifying
tumor grades based on image processing. The algorithms used to classify tumors are
introduced, and their performance in the experimental results are evaluated. In the
proposed algorithm, rst, the scan images of the lung are pre-processed and then, the
histogram, texture, and geometric features are extracted. These characteristics are
then employed in Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Canonical Correlation Analysis
(CCA) classiers to diagnose tumors and classify benign and malignant types. These
integrated approaches to investigation of medical images are vital tools for improving the
diagonalization accuracy. In the current research, experimental and simulated medical
images are employed. The outcomes of the developed techniques in this research are
compared with those found in the literature review to conrm the ecacy and reliability of
the proposed approach in diagnosing and classifying tumors. In addition to high accuracy
in diagnosis, this method is also a low-cost and low-risk method. Owing to its very high
sensitivity, this method has the desired values of two criteria of precision and specicity as
well as the small number of features used for classication; therefore, the developed method
was proposed as an ecient and appropriate one for tumor classication.
